Loads the IMDB dataset.
tf.keras.datasets.imdb.load_data(
path='imdb.npz', num_words=None, skip_top=0, maxlen=None, seed=113,
start_char=1, oov_char=2, index_from=3, **kwargs
)
This is a dataset of 25,000 movies reviews from IMDB, labeled by sentiment (positive/negative). Reviews have been preprocessed, and each review is encoded as a list of word indexes (integers). For convenience, words are indexed by overall frequency in the dataset, so that for instance the integer "3" encodes the 3rd most frequent word in the data. This allows for quick filtering operations such as: "only consider the top 10,000 most common words, but eliminate the top 20 most common words".
As a convention, "0" does not stand for a specific word, but instead is used to encode any unknown word.
Arguments | |
---|---|
path
|
where to cache the data (relative to ~/.keras/dataset ).
|
num_words
|
integer or None. Words are
ranked by how often they occur (in the training set) and only
the num_words most frequent words are kept. Any less frequent word
will appear as oov_char value in the sequence data. If None,
all words are kept. Defaults to None, so all words are kept.
|
skip_top
|
skip the top N most frequently occurring words
(which may not be informative). These words will appear as
oov_char value in the dataset. Defaults to 0, so no words are
skipped.
|
maxlen
|
int or None. Maximum sequence length. Any longer sequence will be truncated. Defaults to None, which means no truncation. |
seed
|
int. Seed for reproducible data shuffling. |
start_char
|
int. The start of a sequence will be marked with this character. Defaults to 1 because 0 is usually the padding character. |
oov_char
|
int. The out-of-vocabulary character.
Words that were cut out because of the num_words or
skip_top limits will be replaced with this character.
|
index_from
|
int. Index actual words with this index and higher. |
**kwargs
|
Used for backwards compatibility. |
Returns | |
---|---|
Tuple of Numpy arrays: (x_train, y_train), (x_test, y_test) .
x_train, x_test: lists of sequences, which are lists of indexes
(integers). If the num_words argument was specific, the maximum
possible index value is num_words-1. If the y_train, y_test: lists of integer labels (1 or 0). |
Raises | |
---|---|
ValueError
|
in case maxlen is so low
that no input sequence could be kept.
|
Note that the 'out of vocabulary' character is only used for
words that were present in the training set but are not included
because they're not making the num_words
cut here.
Words that were not seen in the training set but are in the test set
have simply been skipped.
